Cultural Heritage

Cultural Heritage Studies is
concerned with the critical investigation of both intellectual and practical approaches to key issues in the field. The contested
nature of cultural heritage theory and the examination of the application of different
theoretical perspectives from which cultural heritage can be viewed constitute
the critical bedrock of research. Real life, real time examples of tangible and
intangible heritage – including sites and structures, movable cultural
property, song, dance and diverse cultural performances and practices - that
have acquired cultural heritage value in the global context, are used as the
research foci for debates on key theoretical and practical issues. Institute staff have established the Conversations on conservation of cultural heritage blog to share and discuss news, projects, approaches and philosophies relating to the conservation of cultural heritage.
